Third Party Access to Internal Networks
Security of the IT network for any company is very important. Scores of sensitive business information is stored electronically in the IT systems and the company network. An unsecured or a partially secured network has the potential to cause financial losses to the company if the information falls in the wrong hands. Therefore there is need for installing and network security systems.
For any network security to become operational the company must first look into whether the system can be implemented technically and whether it can be implemented throughout the organization. Another consideration for the selection of the network security is to ensure that the system clearly define areas of responsibility for the users, administrators, and management and is flexible and adaptable to the changing environments (Andre-s, 2004).
Thesis statement: it is critical that the company assess, chooses and implements and appropriate network security system to protect data, especially the sensitive ones.
The Key Requirements of Network Infrastructure Security
A security system must ensure that the following network infrastructure security principles are met:
1) Allows secure configuration and accessed in a secure fashion of the network devices
2) Network communications use secure protocols
3) Demilitarized zones or DMZs and control devices such as securely configured firewalls or router Access Control Lists needs...
These include issues like the direction of the connection to the network service, deciding on the sensitivity of data flowing over the connection to the network service and encrypting o sensitive data and the inbound and outbound network services should be approved and documented (Andre-s, 2004).
Storage of sensitive information on Networked Systems
It is suggested that sensitive information like financial information and non-public research data should not be stored in systems that have access to outside network systems like the internet. Such data should be kept safe and away from directly accessible from external hostile networks. The servers and the data base that would store the sensitive information should not be connected to the internet network system and limited coded access should be given to only those people who are authorized to access the information from within the organization (Heng, Wright & Goi, 2010). Separate security zones need to be created for sensitive information of the organization.

Despite these concerns however the world's largest companies still actively promote and routinely hype the value of cloud computing without mentioning the myriad of risk associated with this platform, despite its continual maturation from a security and stability standpoint [2]. An example of this is type of hype is when Microsoft's Steve Balmer described cloud computing as the next frontier and Dr. Ajei Gopal verified that the cloud is there

security and governance program is "a set of responsibilities and practices that is the responsibility of the Board and the senior executives." This is the procedures by which the company ensures information security in the organization. The program consists of desired outcomes, knowledge of the information assets, and process integration (ITGI, 2013). Security of information is important because of the value of information, especially proprietary, in today's business world.
Security Management Plan John's Hospital Privacy of client information is an assurance that every patient wants and this assurance is what the hospital can build patient confidence on. The lack of it therefore may have consequences such as loss of confidence in the hospital, loss of clientele and the emergence of a poor reputation. This paper looks at the St. John's Hospital which has experienced the leakage of confidential information a problem
Computer Security People, process and technology are three things which are involved in information security. Biometrics, passwords and firewalls are some of the technical measures and these are not enough in justifying threats to information. In order to protect information from destruction and to secure systems, a blend of different procedures is required. While deploying information security some factors need to be considered for instance processes like de-registration and registration
